Huron Cover Crops

Our aerial seeded cover crop has established nicely. If you look closely you’ll see the plants are mostly in clumps where earthworms have taken the seeds into their burrows

@middlesexfarmer @sebonsoils Other than that you have to follow most of the rules that the article describes with some slight differences in 🇨🇦

@middlesexfarmer @sebonsoils Very similiar to the US... only part of article I don’t understand is why you can’t produce or sell “VNS” seeds as you most definetly can in Canada... you can grow and sell anything that is not protected, but it must be sold as “Common” you can’t sell with name of variety

Interesting article. Can anyone weigh in with how Canadian/Ontario regs impact cover crop growing and marketing?

Pictures aren’t great But from 4pm daily the deer come out to graze the #covercrop in the wheat ground 32 head today #Southbruce #ontag

@SflJim @kyledecorte @AGuntensperger @LorenzGut Had a few people try multispecies ripped in and seems to be working fine... peas and sunflowers no problem

@HuronCoverCrop @kyledecorte @AGuntensperger @LorenzGut I like to blend oats w fert, spread and incorporate w tillage. Will the peas come up as well as the oats do in this manner? Or are they more depth sensitive?

@LorenzGut @HuronCoverCrop Oats and peas looking good. Should make good feed this fall!!

@kyledecorte @AGuntensperger @LorenzGut Lots of oats in a mix plays havoc on air seeders, likely the only time a box drill excels. Glad to see it looks alright!

@AGuntensperger @LorenzGut @HuronCoverCrop How many drill misses ? I was saying lots of bad words trying to get that stuff through the meter

My favourite way to plant white beans

Cover crop field isn't only beneficial for the environment. Also make great additions to ferment! #purpletopturnip #radish @HuronCoverCrop

@CoryLCowan @SteveTwynstra @MyVeritas_Aaron @pverkley @no_till @WheatPete still too high unless you want it to be the star in mix

@CoryLCowan @SteveTwynstra @MyVeritas_Aaron @pverkley @no_till @WheatPete those rates are very high IMO and I would very rarely seed alone

@pverkley @SteveTwynstra @no_till @WheatPete phacelia is really shining in this mix! Looks great!!

@SteveTwynstra drove by this field today. (across from HDC/G.C.BeanCo.) What is it? Looks lovely! @HuronCoverCrop @no_till @WheatPete

Measuring up @notillnick's drill for some cover crop modifications! Wheat and cereal rye in the same field. @HuronCoverCrop

It's a great day to kill this cover crop. I hope it's a great start to the 2017 🌽 crop! Thanks @HuronCoverCrop

Some info on the #covercrop meeting this Friday, better late than never! #Ontag #ThinfortheWin #RootsNotIron
